“My daughter and her husband had their wedding reception at the Daymark on 10/27/2018. There was a nor’easter the night before into Saturday morning. There was flooding everywhere! Management and staff did an incredible job rearranging the room since we had to change the wedding ceremony to inside, instead of at the Lighthouse. The food and staff made it a memorable night. Everything was perfect! Thank you to all of the Daymark staff!”

“Original fishing village with some unique shops...fresh seafood market..and coffee shop. Nice Sunday afternoon adventure...”

“Hats off to the waitress at Kelly’s Restaurant who gave my father a placemat for him to hang up at home above his fish tank. He is a long time customer since the 60’s. Unfortunately the placemat got ruined on the way home, I messaged them and they were more than happy to send him one in the mail. Kudos to Kelly’s Staff for their kindness!!! 😊”

“This is my new favorite restaurant hands down. Just ate here for the second time and was absolutely blown away by how carefully crafted every single dish is. Chef is an artist and makes me crave foods I normally do not like by how creative and delicious his food is. The staff is always incredible as well but the food here is 12/10 every single time.”

“My daughter and I went here for lunch today and the food was amazing! We had homemade hummus and pita chips for an appetizer and sandwiches..I had the green burger which was to die for!! Honestly this food was so amazing and in generous portions! The potato salad was delicious! The staff was so friendly and accommodating even they were so busy! I can’t wait to go back😊”

“I recommend EVERYTHING about the LBI Pancake House! The food - perfect. The atmosphere - stylish, retro chic. The people - awesome. And don’t even get me started on the Belgian Waffles…. I’m still dreaming about those slightly crispy outside, puffy fluffy insides served with warm butter and their signature maple syrup. Breakfast Heaven served oceanside on Earth.”

“Lovely simple dining room, excellent service- not overbearing but aware when wine refills were needed. Polite and efficient service. We had the fried artichokes and a clam pizza for appetizers and the sea scallops specials- everything was wonderful. Sea scallops perfectly prepared. The pizza crust was crisp and light with lots of clams. The fried artichokes were delicious with a black garlic aioli! Can’t wait to visit again.”

“My husband and I went to Dune 18 last night for restaurant week and it was fantastic! The food is incredible and the staff is so friendly. We personally love the PEI mussels in the white wine garlic sauce and the shrimp tempura. I tried the spinach salad last night and it was delicious, the dressing is made in house and is so yummy. We tried the chocolate mousse cake & carrot cake last night, both of which were so tasty but the chocolate mousse cake was the best mousse cake I’ve ever had… Can’t wait to come back again soon!”
